Jack Iker is at it again. By proclamation he released 23 clergy who are and always have been clergy in the Episcopal Church not part of the break away group that thinks they are a part of the Southern Cone.

These men and women (yes there are women deacons not priests) never wanted to be a part of the Southern Cone.

In the same vain I have decided to release the members of the 2009 Chicago Cubs, the members of the United States Supreme Court, the cast of The Office and the musician Sting. They are all free to go back to their original vocation because I have decided to release them. Don't I deserve credit for handling this in a charitable way, unlike the evil Episcopal Church who bring presentments and sue people. The reason Iker can do this is because they were not part of his band of dissidents. His action has no legal, theological, or practical relevance.

This is how idiotic this is.

GODLY JUDGMENT OF THE BISHOP OF FORT WORTH

FEBRUARY 5, 2009

The following clergy have signified a desire to no longer be canonically resident in this diocese, as they no longer accede to the diocesan Constitution and Canons. I certify that they have been clergy in good standing in this diocese and are eligible for transfer to another jurisdiction. It is my Godly Judgment that they are to be removed from the role of clergy of this diocese effectiveimmediately.
